J,E UNeill, or "Tip' O'Ne,ll, - he 10
known to the baseball enthusiasts, the hard
hitter OF the ST. Louis Browna His work
this season has been extraordinary and should
he keep It up he will stand at the head OF the
batting list, not only of the Association, but
also ahead OF the crack hitters OF the League
In lSs, O'Neil, stood third on the list OF bat
ters OF the Association, being tied for that
place by Browning, OF the Louisville, with an
average OF $50 Orr, with average OF $40
and Caruthers and Hecker with averages OF
Si2 were ahead of him. II We compare
these averages with the League averages We
lind that ONeill would have held sixth
c,stion. AS left fielder, o'Neill has but few
equals, and in lsS6 he stood second IN the
Association list with an average OF 30 being
surpassed only by kuehue of the Aiie-
eheny, but kuehne only played . games 10
ISs by o'NeilL Lsrkin, OF the Athletics,
came nearest to ONeill, playing lS9 games,
and making . record of So BY this
1t will be seen that O'Neill is really
at the head of the list of left helders
of the Association. In the great worlds

the end OF the season OF lS>6, he led In the
batting, having an average OF 400, whilst the
best average for the Chicagos Was made by
Burns, who obtained .SS3. In the fielding he
was second only to Caruthers, both men
having an average OF 1000, but Carutbers &C.
cepted IA chances to Is by O'Neill. O'Neill
played IN all six games OF the series As an
all round plsyer he ranks with the best
Notss Of the Fieid.
